JouRNEYINcs OF SOUNDS.
Some Loud Fog Horns and Bells
just Where Did the Enterprise
Fight the Boxer?
BATH, April IA,

BATH, April H.
To the Editor of the Press:
In the PRESS today, your correspondent
notices communication concerning the dis
lance at which sound can be heard He re-
marks that Bath paper stated few years
ago that the steam fog horn at Seguin could
be heard at Bath in certain atmospheric con-
ditions. The writer Of the communication
is correct Seguin whistle can easily be
heard at Bath, in almost any weather or di-
rection of wind, that requires its use.
Your Bath correspondent has also noticed
something concerning the distance at which
church bells can be heard. While summer
ing on a farm some five miles from the CITY
he has observed that when the air is still. on
peaceful Sabbath morns' the bells of
churches over six miles away can be almost
as distinctly heard as at Bath, and has heard
it stated that they could be distinguished at
Phipsburg Centre, nearly eight miles down
the river. Not only can the bells be heard.
but by their different tones the different
churches can be distinguished. Often, at
midnight, when the air is pr0verbially still.
the rumble of trains at Brunswick depot, 8
miles away, can easily be heard.
While the gentleman is investigating this
matter he might turn his attention to a mat
| ter of history, and set at rest the exact place
at which the engagement between the Boxer
and Enterprise occurred for at present every
place between Cape Elizabeth and Pema

stride toward unearthing interesting data as

THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
The Visiting System.

While this, always q prominent feature
of charity organization, commends itself
thoroughly to those who understand it. T
think its full Importance, the amount of
work done and the possibilities that it holds
are but partially comprehended.
Objections are sometimes made to it on
the ground that it is an invasion of the
privacy of home life and individual affairs.
1t would be just as logical to condemn
physician for seeking the needful informa-
ton to govern the treatment of his patient.
A visitor going in the right spirit finds no
trouble from this source in any genuine
case.
The complete working of the system would
give to every unfortunate family friend
with disposition and resources to bestow all
needful aid; work where it is possible; in
emergencies food, fuel and clothing; in sick
ness, physician, medicine, diet food and care
at a II times counsel, guidance, encourage
ment, the charity that suffereth long and is
kind, that will not yield to discouragement,
will bear with error and strive to correct it.
We have such visitors, among them those
who. bring the help of long experience in
similar work for the different benevolent
societies We need more, women of high
purpose, capable OF devoted action. 1t is
not trifling work. 1t is taking rank among
the leading movements of the day for the adj
vancement OF humanity and is worthy of
any woman's best powers.
THE WORK ROOM.
Always the lgreatest difficulty in effort for
permanent good is the want of work, I'M
skilled labor being in excess of demand To
meet this brave efforts are made in many
directions. For this the work room was in
stltuted and has done most efficient service.
1t is by no small outlay of care and work
that the ladies Ia charge sustain it. Forty
forenoons of actual, close work in one sea-
son-and often great deal outside of this
may well be called practical benevolence and
would seem to constitute a very strong claim
upon the community to interest itself in the
sale of manufactured garments soon to take
place.
This effort is cheerfully made because the
good results are so evident. the work given
out proving so great blessing. The i'm
provement in the sewing from year to wear
is very gratifying.
A laundry seems the next need. With II
should be place where little children could
be cared for while the mothers are employed.
1t would not only give work to those unable
to do anything else, but it is a kind of work
in which a little training will accomplish
much. A few months under good manager
would send out women whose help would be
valued in the best homes.
Once well established think such an in
stituti0n could be made nearly, if not quite,
self-Supp0rting, and very welcome con-
venience to the community.
